I am looking to add a dog to my family. In particular, I’m hoping to find a dog/breed that would be a good exercise partner. A friend from my running club recommended a Vizsla. Does anyone have experience with this breed and could talk more about their energy requirements? I’m also curious about other breeds that would enjoy distance running.

100%! Vizslas are great for sporty pet parents. They are super speedy and excel at endurance running. Plus, they are known for their trainability. Other breeds to consider: Weimaraner, Border Collie, Dalmatian, Australian Shepherd, and German Shepherd.

I will second the vote for a Vizsla. My brother has one, and I’ve never seen a dog with so much energy. He doesn’t like to walk; that dog just wants to run. A Vizsla would be a perfect running companion.

I have a Labrador who is a superb runner. He can go so fast that I can barely keep up. He loves to go far distances, and while I’m not an avid runner, he keeps up with me whenever I hike, jog, or walk fast. I think a Labrador would make a great running partner.
